RFID in the jewellery industry

There is a need to use RFID for many high value-added products in the retail scenario, but the penetration of RFID in this segment is not large, mainly due to the following reasons.

1. Cost issues: RFID system needs to invest a certain cost in the early stage, the sales of jewellery and other luxury goods, compared to some FMCG, not only small, and slow flow, large-scale use will have cost pressure;

2. Technical complexity: a wide variety of jewellery, different shapes, sizes and sizes, and often with metal and other elements that affect the read and write, high personalisation requirements, which requires RFID tags and readers to adapt to a variety of complex environments and conditions, large-scale tag production is difficult to adapt.
 
3. Application alternatives: the jewellery industry for RFID technology knowledge and application experience is relatively small. Although RFID technology has been widely used in other industries, but the application in the jewellery industry is still in its infancy.

A new RFID-based smart jewellery tray can properly address these applications, let's take a look at this RFID smart jewellery tray.

Intelligent jewellery tray working principle

 The working principle of smart jewellery tray is mainly based on RFID technology. Each jewellery or watch is affixed with an RFID tag, which stores unique ID information. When the jewellery is placed on the tray, the tray's built-in reader sends out an RF signal to activate the tag and read the information in the tag. The reader then sends the read tag information through the built-in antenna to a Bluetooth gateway device, which ultimately uploads the data to a server. The server processes and analyses the received data to achieve accurate tracking and management of jewellery.

How do smart jewellery trays avoid misreading?

In order to ensure accurate high performance reading, shielding material arsenic is constructed around the outer edge of the tray. Constructing shielding material around the outer edges of the tray disperses RF signals and prevents unintentional reads of tagged items from neighbouring trays or near the tray. The selection and layout of this shielding material needs to be carefully designed to ensure that it is effective in preventing misreading without interfering with normal reading operations.

What are the features and benefits of Smart Jewellery Trays?

Accurate tracking: Smart Jewellery Trays capture the tag information of the jewellery in the tray in real time, ensuring that every piece of jewellery can be accurately tracked and located.

Improved Efficiency: Through automated data capture and transmission, the smart jewellery tray greatly reduces the amount of manual input and verification workload and improves work efficiency.

Enhanced security: Intelligent jewellery pallets can monitor jewellery inventory in real time, effectively preventing jewellery from being stolen or lost. At the same time, through data analysis and early warning, potential security risks can also be detected in a timely manner.

Optimise management: Through the analysis of jewellery sales data, intelligent jewellery pallets can help merchants better understand market demand and consumer preferences, providing strong support for inventory management, sales strategy development and so on.
